This is Jim Combs first article in Video Game Trader. It was also re-published in the special VGXpo 9.5 edition of the magazine.
Hi Jim.. That was pretty funny. I listened to most of it. She puts on a good show.
Hmm. Sounds to me like a special Tron issue of Video Game Trader should be in the works.
It’s interesting how many of these are sequels or retro remakes. As a gamer who prefers old school video games, some of these look fun to play!

I am interested in writting for the blog or magazine. I send an e-mail last week but havent’ heard anything back yet. Is there anything else I need to do?
I believe we sent you an email today. If you don’t get anything, please send us another email. I have been delayed in answering emails due to the holidays and am now just catching up.
When it comes to puzzle games three names seem to step in the front of the line: Trine, Machinarium and Braid. I’d recommend Machinarium which probably is the greatest puzzle game ever made.
